Social Media Links — PREMIUM Business Directory
Expand Your Business
Placing links to Social Media sites and other locations from your Premium Business Directory enhances your SEO (Search Engine Optimization) ranking, promoting your business, and making it easier for customers, clients, members, or patients (our readers) to find you.
From inside your Business Directory, on the Left Side, there is a column of BLUE links. Click on the BLUE link that says "Social Icons, Listing Links, and Downloads."
Below is a snapshot of the window that will open. Click on the GREEN button that says + Add Social Media.
In this new window, under the Social Media Properties it says Social Network. In the Social Media field, click on the "caret" to choose from a dropdown menu of Social Media links. For example, one option is FACEBOOK (as in the image below). In the field to the right, add a full URL link to your FACEBOOK page.
When entering the URL, it's critical to place the full URL, meaning the inclusion of: http://www. before the rest of the URL. Example: https://www.facebook.com/NApalmbeachfl.
Click the BLUE Save button (you may have to scroll up to see the Save button).
Lastly, to review your work, click on your Directory Business name (large blue lettering at the top of your Premium Business Directory listing).
Your Social Media Icon (as an active link) should appear in
white on your Business Directory's wide banner image in the upper-right
corner.
Your most recent FACEBOOK post will appear in the right column of your Premium Listing, replacing any previous post.
LINK OUTS:
Link Outs can be for links to Blogs, white paper, website landing pages, sign-up links for email lists, and more.
Creating Link Outs will work the same way in the fields below the Social Network area. In the Link Label box (highlighted below with a blue line) place the name you want viewers to see as the name of the Link. For example: Benefits of Acupuncture for Creating and Maintaining a Healthy Weight.
Again, when entering the URL, it's critical to place the full URL, meaning the inclusion of: http://www. before the rest of the URL.
Click the GREEN button + Add Link.
Scroll up and click the BLUE Save button.
To remove a link, go back to the Listing Link Outs portion of your Social Icons, Listing Links, and Downloads page and click the gray REMOVE button to the RIGHT of the link you choose to remove.
